Sports Lists

With Christmas less than a week away, Total Pro Sports is pleased to announce that we were able to get our hands on a copy of a top-secret document even WikiLeaks couldn’t obtain: Santa’s naughty list. Now, what many people probably don’t realize is that Santa Claus is actually a pretty big sports nut. So […]

Doesn’t it seem like whenever something weird happens in the NBA, commissioner David Stern has a hand in it? This week it was the Chris Paul trade fiasco, and just a few weeks before that it was the completely unnecessary NBA lockout. It just seems like the man can’t go more than a couple of years without getting […]

Every year college football’s stupid BCS system screws over at least ten teams when bowl invitations are handed out, and 2011 is no exception. But can you actually quantify exactly how much any given team got screwed? Well, yes…sort of. You see, all bowl games have a set amount of money they pay to the […]

As 2011 begins to draw to a close, we here at Total Pro Sports thought this would be a perfect time to revisit and update our list of the world’s most Googled female athletes. It was a pretty big year for women’s sports. The biggest event of course was the 2011 Woman’s World Cup, which […]

Sports fans were treated to what will surely become an all-time classic brawl this past Saturday when the Cincinnati Bearcats and the Xavier Musketeers faced off in the annual Cincinnati Crosstown Shootout. Now, I know we’re not supposed to condone this sort of behavior. We’re supposed to talk about how it’s an embarrassment and how […]

In the sports world, Twitter has become a powerful promotional tool. While some athletes just use Twitter to “connect” with their fans, it seems that most are just trying to build a big following so they can get more lucrative endorsement deals. Today Total Pro Sports brings you a list of the 25 most-followed athletes […]

Yesterday it was announced that Albert Pujols agreed to a $254 million, 10-year deal with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, finally putting an end to months of speculation about the future of baseball’s greatest slugger. And while I’m glad that the sports world can now finally move on, I must admit that it will […]

Today, Total Pro Sports takes a look at the 11 most amazing places to watch college basketball. These are college sports venues that possess the perfect combination of history, atmosphere, aesthetics and, of course, quality basketball. Still, since it’s the so-called “intangibles” that make college sports so much fun to begin with, there’s no point […]

For pro sports teams to succeed these days, they need more than a loyal fanbase. If that was all that was needed, there wouldn’t be so many defunct pro sports teams. Instead, what pro teams really need under today’s business model is corporate sponsorship and media revenue. Without those two things, teams are going to […]

Now that we’re actually going to have a 2011-12 NBA season, I thought it would be fun to whip up a list of the top player salaries for this year. Why is a list of the NBA’s top salaries so amusing? It has to do with the league’s insanely complicated “soft” salary cap. This system, […]

Nothing gets NFL fans riled up like a good old-fashioned quarterback controversy, especially when a high profile backup quarterback is in the mix. In this regard, the 2011 NFL season has been a real treat, since we’ve got not one but two big-name backups stealing playing time and headlines. There is Vince Young in Philadelphia, […]

Now that Movember 2011 has officially come to an end, I thought it would be a good time to take stock of the best charity mustaches from the world of pro sports. However, as I starting looking around, it became apparent that—just as with playoff beards—no other league can compete with the NHL when it […]

When it was officially announced earlier this week that Urban Meyer, former football coach at the University of Florida, would be taking the head coaching job at Ohio State, I’m sure more than a few Florida fans spit on the ground and began cursing his name as a traitor. But that’s fine by me, because […]

It seems like most NHL fans are happy to see a team back in Winnipeg this season. I know I am. Still, it’s always a shame when one town’s gain has to be another’s loss. In an ideal world, teams would just stay in one damn place. You wouldn’t have teams leaving hockey-mad towns to […]

In the world of college sports, football and basketball get most of the glory. Then, when those seasons are over, you might hear about the College World Series (if you’re from Nebraska) or the Frozen Four (if you’re from North Dakota or Massachusetts). But that’s about it. You hardly ever hear about college bowling or […]
